The dozens of pigs in Qi Kangfu's place are not yet ready for slaughter. He is reluctant to sell those pigs now, and he is worried about letting others raise them. It is not realistic to rush them all to Beijing.
"Dad, I really can't accommodate the pig farm here. The food shop at my wife's place is full of regular customers. It would be okay to open another one in the capital. My family has enough money now, but there are no customers anymore, dad."
Not to mention his side, he is reluctant to leave now, let's talk about his wife's side. In good conscience, his wife's craftsmanship is not the best. The reason why the business of the restaurant is good now is that it occupies the
The location of the food shop is supported by items from their own workshop.
For example, for clear soup noodles, his wife would put some thinly sliced braised pork on top.
The taste of their braised pork is amazing, but they are not the only one making clear soup noodles. Just add a few slices of braised pork, and they can't raise the price much, otherwise the students' mouths will taste better than steel.
The knife is even more powerful.
To put it bluntly, the restaurant opened by his wife is a small profit but quick turnover that takes advantage of the land. If this restaurant is moved to the capital...
First, he may not be able to have such a good position. Second, he heard that all the restaurants and restaurants in Beijing are made by craftsmen passed down from ancestors. As for his wife's craftsmanship, it is not that he buried his own daughter-in-law and shared it with other people's ancestral crafts.
The craftsmanship is really not impressive enough.
There is also the biggest problem. The rent for the shops in Beijing is very high. With their small profit but quick turnover food shop, his wife may not even be able to earn back her money even if she is exhausted.
So after discussion, the couple decided not to follow him to Beijing. Anyway, Yong'an City is not too far away from the capital, and it only takes a day and a night to visit dad on weekdays.
Besides, the eldest brother's family's workshops are all in the village. He doesn't feel very good after they have left. From now on, he will still be in the village, so at least he can help and keep an eye on them.
Old man Qi saw that both Qi Kangfu and Li Qin insisted, so he didn't try to persuade him any more. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
The next day, a long team headed by Yin Zai headed out of the village in a mighty manner.
The entire Qijia Village came out to see him off. Li Zhengzhu stood at the entrance of the village with his crutches supported by Qiwen Fang, and waited silently until the large procession disappeared.
"Fourth uncle, come back."
After a pause, seeing Li Zheng still looking at the intersection where there were no more people, Qi Wen thought that Li Zheng was reluctant to leave the old man Qi and Qi Bao'er, and then advised: "Wen Luhui and Bao'er are coming to Beijing, don't we know all about them?"
Well, Fourth Uncle, this is not far from the capital, Wenlu’s roots are here, he will definitely come back.”
The corner of Li Zheng's mouth twitched, he shook off the praying party's hand and turned around angrily and left.
Why are you so angry?
Qi Wenfang hurriedly chased after Qi Kaishan and supported Qi Kaishan again. The old man was already over eighty years old. What would happen if he fell while taking a cigarette?
This time, Qi Kaishan did not let go of Qi Wenfang, but said in a bad tone: "How could you tell that I am reluctant to leave? I am so happy. Bao'er has been at home for so long, and I am worried that she will not want to leave."
Entering the capital, fortunately the emperor only gave a verbal order."
Prayer: "???"
Without looking back, Qi Kaishan knew that his eldest nephew did not understand what he meant. He looked around and saw that everyone had dispersed. Those who were supposed to go to work went to work, and those who went home went home. There was no one around them.
Then he continued quietly:
"We don't know why Bao'er left in the first place, but what is certain is that Bao'er left on his own, otherwise Anzi would not have come back on his own.
At that time, I was extremely scared. After Anzi came back, he took orders to go to Yongding City, one of the five cities, so we don’t have to worry about the safety of the Qi family. I’m worried about Bao’er.”
Qi Kaishan stood still and looked towards the capital, "Emperor, how many of them are truly generous?"
Prayer: "..." I almost acted unfilially and covered my fourth uncle's mouth.
How can they discuss the Emperor?
Fortunately, Qi Kaishan just sighed as if he was temporarily dizzy, and continued to walk forward with a straight face.ъiqugetvt
"I was worried that Bao'er's temper would offend the emperor, but the emperor was generous and didn't care. Bao'er was too honored and pampered at that time. I think there were a lot of people staring at her. This was a clue to come to my door. I
I was afraid that someone would use this matter to harm Baoer.
We don't know what happened in Beijing, and we don't know if anything happened later that I was worried about. Fortunately, the result was gratifying. Bao'er was made a princess, and the emperor also rewarded Zhuangzi outside Beijing and Jingli.
's shop.
Ordinarily, when Bao'er comes back, he should go into the palace to report to the emperor that he is safe, and to thank the emperor for the kindness he received nine years ago."
I prayed that the mountain would be silent, and there was no sound for a long time.
However, Qiwen knew what his fourth uncle had not said. He had muttered it several times at home these days.
After Baoer came back, she just stayed at home like a normal person. She had no plans to go to Beijing, and she never saw anyone asking to see her.
But from Prayer's point of view, the latter point is nothing.
The people who have come to see them recently are all officials or their families in Yong'an City, as well as a number of merchants and their families. If you pick any one of them, they are lower than Bao'er's rank. If Bao'er doesn't see them, no one can say anything.
However, because of Bao'er's attitude, there are a lot of rumors about Bao'er outside. Fortunately, they are not bad. The worst thing is that Bao'er has a cold temper.
Qi Wenfang has never been an official and has not been to many big places. After coming to the current Qijia Village, he is still the village's teacher.
Although he was a candidate, to be honest, his knowledge and foresight were not as good as those of Qi Old Man and Qi Kaishan, who were not even children.
Therefore, he can only see the surface of many things.
Just like the fact that Qi Baoer stayed at home and squatted at home after he came back, he thought it was nothing. When the outside world heard about Qi Baoer, he also felt that Qi Baoer had a cold personality and was hard to get in touch with.
It also saves Bao'er from having to deal with people.
They were already quite old, and the eldest nephew couldn't reach that level anyway, so Qi Kaishan simply didn't say anything more.
He didn't know that at the other end of the carriage that had just turned onto the official road into Beijing, Old Man Qi was also chatting with Old Mrs. Tian about this.
When it comes to worries, Old Man Qi is more worried than Qi Kaishan. Qi Baoer is his granddaughter.
But this spoiled granddaughter has no bottom line. If you say something like that, Qi Bao'er just wants to rebel, so the old man Qi can immediately prepare food and fodder for her.
"Fortunately, the emperor didn't look angry. If he had issued the imperial edict directly, it would have been troublesome."
Mrs. Tian looked confused and said she didn't understand.
Old man Qi said: "I didn't know this at first, but Guan Qi taught me this. If the emperor wants to see someone like this, if it is an oral order, it means that the emperor is anxious but not angry. If he gives the order directly, he is angry.
"
"ah??"
Is there any other way to say this?
"No, so as long as they are close, if the emperor gives a decree to see someone, then everyone in the capital will know that this person has offended the emperor. Don't think that things will go smoothly in the future.
On the contrary, if the emperor only gives oral instructions, it means that the emperor considers this person in his heart, which means he attaches great importance to him."
Don't look at imperial edicts and oral instructions as if imperial edicts are more powerful, but sometimes, the two effects are exactly opposite.
